thats good news. glad to see the brothers are distributing outside the city lines. they sd distribution was going to be very limited. they do pint nights in the city, buy a pint of 51 keep the glass. i need to catch up to one of those.
what would you rate the 51 rye? for me its 4.5. i wonder if i am over-hyping the beer. the citra is really jumping out to me and is starting to dominate. its weird. a beer tastes a certain way but then when you drink enough of it, you start noticing all these subtle flavors that eventually your brain is now predisposed looking for and the beer now tastes different then when you first started drinking it. the citra, centennials cascades were always front and center (which I like and look for) but now it is overpowering to my taste buds.
even with 51% rye malt, that earthy nutty tone is being overpowered.
